TURNING AROUND ON A HILL (K-TURN)
If the vehicle stalls while climbing a hill, never back it down the hill! Use the K-
Turn to turn around.
1. Stop the vehicle. Keep your weight uphill.
2. Always engage ADC mode (if equipped) before ascending or descending a
hill. If ADC mode is not equipped, apply AWD mode before ascending or
descending a hill.
3. Lock the hydraulic parking brake.
4. Leave the transmission in forward gear. Turn the engine off.
5. Stay uphill of the vehicle and turn the handlebars full left.
6. Squeeze the brake lever to release the parking brake.
7. Slowly release the brake lever and allow the vehicle to roll around to your
right until it's pointing across the hill or slightly downward.
8. Lock the hydraulic parking brake.
9. Remount from the uphill side. Keep your weight uphill. A passenger should
not remount until the vehicle returns to firm, level ground.
10. Apply the foot brake.
11. With the transmission still in forward, start the engine.
12. Squeeze and release the brake lever to release the parking brake.
13. Release the foot brake and drive slowly downhill. Control speed with either
the hand or foot brake until the vehicle is on level ground.
